Hey guys,
I'm a complete n00b when it comes to any Nintendo Handheld. I've never owned one before, but I just bought my girlfriend the Pink 3DS XL. I've done a lot of research before I buy a flash card, although if someone could help me make sure I'm buying the correct items that would be greatly appreciated.

a. In the description it says the R4i 3DS Gold Card is already updated to work with the 3DS XL 4.5.0-10, although is this a trusted source?
I found this website by going here:www.r4ids.cn/buy-r4i-e.htm​

You can use a SDXC card, if you use a program other than windows formatter to make it FAT32. There are several programs designed to do this for drives to be used for Wii backup loading (amongst other things).

thanks for the reply,
Is there a SDXC card you recommend / where to buy a good one?

The card you're buying already has the latest patch applied for 1.4.5, so there's no need to flash it again. Just drop WOODR4 1.56 onto the card with Moonshell 2.10 stable, drop your roms and emulators on there, and away you go.

Be aware that their is a good chance future 3DS firmware upates may block your card at which point your options will be to not upgrade your firmware (which means no access to the eshop and possible some new games) or to get a new card.

My R4 has been blocked since the latest update and I only had it for about 2 months before it got blocked. Luckily I also have the DStwo which has never been blocked for long.
